Docker

Docker is an open-source tool to make it easy to create, run, deploy applications using containers. It is also known as “Containerization “. Containers are very popular as they are :

>> Flexible

>> Interchangeable

>> Portable

>> Lightweight

Why Docker?

Docker containers are mostly preferred by software developers. Like when the users interact with the software, the hidden complexities drive away from the mind. Deploying and testing the software is really complex these days.

Imagine a jigsaw puzzle, where every piece is placed at the right place in order to work properly if any one piece is lost the entire puzzle falls apart.

The same applies to the software while developing or testing and compiling the whole project on any other machine if any libraries etc. are been skipped the whole software falls apart.

Installing Docker
